A bit of backtracking there... A few posts back he was the second greatest player of all time...
Well done to Andy... Top result...
Does he get a vote for devolution?
Surprised to see Salmond there otherwise...

Please do not accuse me of casual racism. Yes I am English but I am proud of Murray as a Brit. If you are Scottish you can be extra proud of him, and if you are from Dunblane then you can be even more proud of him.
Trying to start a English V Scottish argument just because I pointed out that he possibly is not up there with the greatest players yet is not clever. I did not say that because he is Scottish and I am English, I have visited Scotland many times through work and never had anything less than a warm welcome. I am more than sure that there are an equal number of English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish tossers, and I tend to judge people an their views rather than where they happened to be born. I like Scotland a lot and think English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish arguing amongst themselves is pathetic. I was more looking at a factual basis on the number of grand slams won.
Yes there are some sad English who try and make themselves superior by having a go at Scotland and believe you me, I despise them as much as you do. But if you check any of the over 1000 posts you will see I am not one of them:angry:

Slight hyperbole there. Nadal has 12 Grand Slams. Djokovic has 6.
Murray played exceptionally well today and deserves his win 100%. He may go on to beat Djokovic or Nadal's haul, but he isn't there yet.

Why do Murray topics always invoke this total nonsense. Can't people just enjoy a fantastic sporting moment and a great win.
Yes he's Scottish, but British people have always back British sportsmen and women. I don't know anyone who doesn't like him, or who isn't proud of his win.

Managed to avoid the score at golf and just watched it "live" on Sky+. Not even going to read the threads above as obviously some tripe about whether he's Scottish or British or whatever. GIVE IT UP FOR HEAVENS SAKE AND REVEL IN THE VICTORY.

Very nearly?
I had to go and get another beer from the fridge straight after he won. You know, stiff upper lip and all that

Was flicking between the tennis and the golf for the first hour, then forgot all about the golf.
Riveting stuff and Andy has done himself proud. As someone who watched him look for excuses last year while he was still playing I was delighted to see how his mental attitude has come on alot. When he was fiddling with his shoe and struggling to serve into the sun I feared he might lose the head. Fair play to him he showed real bottle and was like a demon in the last few games. The last Game was inspirational stuff.

Djokovic hit his prime a couple of years ago, a little before Murray. Yes Djokovic has 6 slams, but over the course of the last year Andy has won 3 of their 4 big tournament matches (Olympic, US, Aussie & today). I fully expect that gap to close.
Again, whilst Nadal does have 12 slams, 8 of them have been played on the clay. But on every other surface he has been overtaken by Murray & Djokovic. Murray probably won't win 12 slams bur as an all rounder he is IMO now at least on a par with Nadal despite the pure numbers saying Nadal is 6 times better!
Stats do not tell the entire story

Think you are doing Rafa an injustice... He's only a little older than Andy/Novak yet he has won all of the 'majors' at least once [Wimbledon twice] and has an Olympic gold too boot...

Haha, there's always one plank who'll take the bait!
Really chuffed for him. Can't see how that doesn't make him world No1 with the US Open and the Olympic Gold already in the bag

I'm English & have always thought he was a potential champ & love watching him play.
I don't know any English people who are bitter about Murray's success or nationality.
Why would the English be bitter?
What's your point?
I know he's Scottish, everybody know's he's Scottish.
You almost sound angry, 'huge chip on shoulder person', stop being so nationalistic, we are not trying to steal him.
Anyway, in the tennis world he's British, live with it.
